Barren Pear Tree.

A correspondent of the Southern Live
Stock Journal says: In 1888 to 1910 one of
my pear trees, eight or ten years. had never
borne flower. / selected limb perhaps
two inches in diameter and took out a ring
of bark full one-half inch, near the main
stem of the tree, carefully cutting only
through the bark; done in May or June,
next spring an abundance of bloom. Sue
ceeding year had trench dug all around,
about three feet from the tree, cutting off
all roots with well sharpened spade Filled
up, adding manure 30 the clay as thrown in.
This checked the flow of saw and making
wood and fruit the result.
Our article some time since in regard to
bringing an old barren pear tree on our
farm to bearing has called forth many other
articles Of like import. 1t is very COM
mon thing for pear trees in the South to be
barren, and this remedy should be gene
rally known. 1t may not succeed in all
cases, but it may bring trees to fruiting in
great many cases. Those who have light
upon this subject should let it shine through
the public journals The fruit on our old
pear tree is increasing in size but not yet
ripe.
Prof. Maynard, of the Massachusetts, Ag-
ricultural College, has some light on bearing
fruit trees. He says: There are two meth
DDS by which young fruit trees may be made
to bear: !. II they are in a healthy and Wig
orous condition, by seeding down the land
and using only fertilizer containing large
per cent. Of phosphorus acid and some pot
ash, such as equal measure Of bone meal
and unleached wood ashes 2. BY girdling

considerable courage but II properly done

formed in june while theibark viii peel"

the main branches about quarter Of an

Mistakes of Orchardists,

Mr.. D. T. True, in paper which he read
before the Maine Pathological Society, says
thatone of the most common mistakes made
by some of the best orchardists is in having
too many varieties, making more work in
harvesting and not SO desirable. In some
cases number of varieties have been placed
in one tree. This is one of the worst mis-
takes. Different locations require different
varieties to get the best results. Big mis-
takes in the selection of varieties have been
made. One of the great questions with the
orchardist is, what is the most profitable
variety to grow and meet the wants of the
present and future markets Mistakes are
quite common in the distance of planting
out trees This question is largely one of
circumstances. If one has more land than
money, it may be best not to set so near.
Where land is more costly trees may be set
twice as thick as needed, and when the
trees cover the land one-half of them may
be removed.
One of the saddest of mistakes is where
one puts trees in old vermont grass fields
and wholly neglects them and expects to
raise an orchard. All such cases end in
placing mulch so near the trunk of a tree
and in such quantity that it will heat and
kill the tree The writer can testify to the
loss of fifty valuable trees killed in this
way.
Losses may occur from mice and the borer.
Some have had whole orchards destroyed
by one or both of these enemies Careful
pruning is necessary, but some have made
bad mistakes in this direction; the leaves are
to the tree what the lungs are to the body.
Extreme cutting should be avoided.
In grating, orchards in some cases have
been nearly ruined by saving too large
limbs or hubs, setting poor scions, grating
limbs in the centre of the tree, using poor
wax, neglecting to look after the scions
after the work has been performed. These
have been the cause of much damage.
Turning sheep and lambs into a young or
chard without taking the precaution to coat
the trunks of the trees with manure has
caused big loss in some cases. Oxen and
large cattle have proved very fatal to young
trees when turned into the orchard. Allow
ing trees to overbear and break themselves
down is mistake. Thin the fruit but do
not prop the limb.
If one has dwarf pears as the ounce root
is fbrous, do not let the ground remain in
grass; if you do you will make a mistake.
gaying big prices for new varieties has in
some cases proved mistake.

A Chnaman is stated to have discovered
that caSt-of horseshoes make good cutters
steel. The wrought iron of the shoes hav-

the animal heat of the hoof has something
to do with it. The metal is said TO be good

blades.

Academy of Sciences describing the sue

work in a cornfeld.n ''Just the place of all
others where the weeds. or rather the killing
of them, should be recognized as useful
GLOW soF' We cut down weeds primarily
that they may not rob the crop of a share
of its food, but one who properly uses the
hoe cuts over the entire surface of the soil
in such a manner as to leave light layer of
it upon the surface. This light, fine soil is
of the greatest benefit as mulch; in pre-
venting evaporation ~ moisture from be-
low it helps the crop; nearly as much as
does the cutting away the robber weeds,
and, moreover, this layer of light soil quickly
cools at night and condenses the dew within
its pores, which greatly benefits the crop.
Root crops should be worked until the
spread of the leaves interferes with the hoe.
White turnips, sown early this month, will
make good crop to feed early. Rye, near
cities, where there is always demand for
straw. is often profitable crop, even on
poorish soils, but it will pay to use some
good fertilizer. Potatoes should be dug as
soon as the vines stop growing. If moist
spell comes after growth ceases, ''supertu-
beration" will take place. This is long
word which English writers use to say that
the tubers start anew, and small tubers are
produced upon the larger ones and thus in
jure the crop. Do not allow potatoes to be
exposed to the sun any longer than is needed
to dry them.

A Remedy for Scale.

The Stockton Call Mail says that sue
cessful remedy for the scale bugs on fruit
trees has been prepared by A T. Covell,
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of
Fresno county. He used it on his peach
trees last spring when they were budding
out, and the result was a fine crop of
peaches. The new branches grown since
the remedy was applied are bright and free
from scale. The old branches and bodies of
the trees were so badly damaged by the
scale bugs that the new growth of limbs ON
many of the trees has the appearance of
coming from almost dead bodies. The old
scale-poisoned bark is now peeling off, leav-
ing new and healthy bark under it. Mr..
CovelIs remedy is so pounds of unslacked
lime, 20 pounds of French sulphur and Is
pounds of salt, prepared as follows: Place
10 pounds Of lime and 20 pounds of sulphur
in heater with 20 gallons of water. Boil
for half an hour or more until both lime
and sulphur are dissolved. The sulphur
must be thoroughly dissolved and mixed
with the lime; the mixture will be of an
amber color Next place in box or cask
40 pounds of good lime and pour upon it
enough soft hot water to thoroughly slacken
the lime and keep it in liquid form. After
the lime is thoroughly Stacked add Is pounds
common salt while the material is hot.
When the salt is dissolved mix the two lots
together with sufficient water to make 60
gallons of spraying material, which will
then be thin whitewash. The material
should be strained after being thoroughly
mixed-a good piece of burlap answering
well for the purpose. Apply the mixture
with spray pump, using rubber plate in
the nozzle instead of the brass plate. The
rubber plate must be cut from blocks of
pure rubber, or nearly so, and not from a
cotton mixture; it may be cut from the
blocks used where buggy shafts connect
with the axle. 1t should be cut evenly and
about one-tenth of an inch thick, with
very small inciSion made in the center with
fiat anvil or sharp pointed knife, the awl
being the best as it makes an even hole,
which prevents the spray from going to one
side. The rubber plate will permit any
small article to be forced through the hole
in it, as it will expand and thus save the
time of cleansing out a brass plate. Apply
the material warm or cold. Care should be
taken to wet every part of the tree; and for
the body of the tree hold the nozzle close to
the bark, to force the liquid into all the
